The Fire Horse Retreat is an intimate ceremonial immersion held in collaboration with horses and the elemental medicine of fire.
This gathering is rooted in attunement—
to the nervous system,
to instinct and intuition,
to the wisdom of the horse as teacher and mirror,
and to fire as a force of clarity, vitality, and truth.
In the year of the Fire Horse, we come together not to push forward, but to stand more fully inside our own power—learning how to carry energy cleanly, responsibly, and with heart.
Through ceremony and ritual, breathwork, shamanic instruction and practice, as well as time in the presence of horses, participants are invited into a deeper listening—one that happens through the body, the breath, and the relational field.
Through guided horse-human attunement, ceremony, movement practices, breath, and ritual with fire, we will explore what it means to meet life from inside our own sovereignty—regulated, embodied, and alive.
This is a weekend for those standing at a threshold—ready to move, but unwilling to abandon depth. For those who value personal growth that translates into the community/herd.
This weekend is a rite of passage—a closing of the Year of the Snake and an initiation into the Year of the Fire Horse.
The Fire Horse Retreat is an invitation to remember how to stand—
steady, responsive, and true—
and to let that stance shape the path forward.
The retreat/initiation/ignition weaves together:
Ceremony
Breathwork
Meditation & movement
Somatic & energetic initiation
Time in the presence of horses as teachers and mirrors
Shamanic instruction and practice
Not performance.
Presence.. Listening. Connection. Communion.
Horse Sessions
Multiple short, spacious engagements rather than one long session
Emphasis on observation as much as interaction
Reflection woven in gently
No riding
All interactions with horses are ground-based, consensual, and guided with respect for the animals and the land.
WE WILL NEED TO DRESS FOR THE WEATHER AND THE SITE IS RUSTIC- reach out for questions
This retreat IS for you if:
You would like to reconnect with instinct and embodied intuition
Explore leadership and power without domination or force
Heal patterns around control, collapse, or self-abandonment
Experience fire not as burnout, but as clear, animating life force
Learn directly from horses as relational, energetic teachers
This retreat is NOT for you if:
You are a spectator, this retreat is participatory, but gentle
You want a quick fix or a recipe
You want riding lessons, we will not ride the horses
What Makes This Unique
Horses are not a backdrop—they are co-facilitators
Breathwork is micro-dose and regulating, not cathartic overwhelm
Ceremony is woven throughout rather than confined to a single moment
Focus on initiation, not self-improvement
No alcohol and no smoking at barn or on land
Total Retreat Investment: $1,133 USD
This includes a retreat investment covering shared room lodging in Air B&B (beachfront), nourishing meals (three breakfasts, one lunch, and three dinners (one lunch in town not included), ceremony, instruction and facilitation, and materials, plus a horse stewardship contribution to the barn in support of the care, time, and presence of the horses and land.
